I have a 2000 Pro workstation that has ClearSearch. Scans have been performed with Spy-Bot, Webroot SpySweeper, ewido, and Symantec's ClearSearch removal tool. The tools report the adware has been quarantined and yet the next scan reveals it is still there.
I see some questionable entries in the Hijack This log and would another person to eyeball the log.
Thanks
